Hello!

I have Motif 2.0 and now I would like to just compile a subset to get
some libraries (guess: libXm.so2 or sth. like this) to run StarOffice.

Could anyone please give me some hints on how to do this? I just sit here
with HEAPS of source, not specifically for Linux.

Thanks in advance!

StarOffice has the Motif libraries linked. the install program, on the
other hand, doesn't. I'm sorry I forgot the location, but a perl script
is on the net _somewhere_ that will do the installation for you.

Then, a symlink from any ELF lib to libXm.so.2 will work. It's all in
the package...

Good Luck!

Does anybody know where I could get hold of this perl script for the
installations???
If nothing else, maybe someone knows the name and I can search for it on
Alta-Vista...

No, it hasn't got anymore. This was the situation with the first release of the
first beta (which doesn't run anymore). Current release (Beta II) doesn't
have motif linked in it. There are some workarounds, like getting libso312.so
from the first beta though... or get the _real_ motif libs - they're much
faster than this humongous libso312.so which have all kinds of other things
in it too (well if you're going to run other motif apps too with it)
